The Enemy Upon Us
Get caught in the dialectic
before the day is late
Don't wait for an invitation
as they slowly shut the gate
The wolf now dressed in spun wool
has broken from his cage
He hungers more for what we've lost
an ignorance of rage
A traitor lurks in front of us
to vanquish and to quell
But time that stops for no one man
the assassin pledged to hell
The moment to act upon us
the odds both long and wide
A battle still worth fighting
for those before who thought and died
So if truth's your greatest weapon
wield it willingly and free
The enemy is upon us
-and must leave on bended knee
